Open reduction and intramedullary nail fixation of closed tibial fractures.
Some tibial shaft fractures cannot be accurately reduced using closed or percutaneous techniques during an intramedullary nailing procedure. Under these circumstances, a formal open reduction can be performed. Direct exposure of the fracture facilitates accurate reduction but does violate the soft tissue envelope. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of open reducti...
متن کاملOpen reduction and internal fixation of 117 tibial plateau fractures.
This retrospective study evaluated the surgical management of 117 tibial plateau fractures treated between 1990 and 1998. At last patient follow-up, results were rated good to excellent in 94, fair in 13, and poor in 10 cases. Follow-up radiographs showed degenerative changes in the lateral compartment in 29 cases. Other complications included five wound infections, two deep venous thromboses, ...
متن کاملClosed Reduction versus Open Reduction and Pin Fixation in Pediatric Type III Supracondylar Humeral Fractures
Background Supracondylar humeral fractures constitute about 60% and 13% of all pediatric elbow and pediatric skeletal fractures, respectively, with a peak incidence in the 5-7 years age group. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare closed reduction with open reduction and pin fixation in type III supracondylar humeral fractures in children younger than...
متن کامل[External fixation in the treatment of open tibial shaft fractures].
BACKGROUND/AIM Besides the conquasant fractures, open tibia shaft fractures belong to the group of the most severe fractures of tibia. Open tibia shaft fracture is one of the most common open fractures of long bones. They most frequently occur as a result of traffic accidents caused by the influence of a strong direct force. METHODS Within the period from January, 2000 to December 31, 2005 at...
